03x02 - X

ROBIN [NARRATING]: It's simple.

There is good, and there is evil.

There are those who commit crimes and those who stop them.

The two sides are opposite, as different as day and night.

[SCREECHING]

And the line between them is clear.

[MACHINE BEEPING]

Or at least, it's supposed to be.

Red X?

I thought Robin was Red X.

Think again.

Titans, go.

Come on, kids. X marks the spot.

[G O G]

[GROANS]

Who are you?

If I wanted you to know that, would I be wearing a mask?

[YELLS]

[GROANS]

Azarath, Metrion...

[GRUNTS]

[SCREAMS]

Looks like you got your wires crossed.

[LASER f*ring]

[GRUNTS]

You know, cutie, the only crime here is that you and I haven't gone out on a...

[GRUNTS] [YELLS]

[GRUNTS]

[GROWLING]

Watch your step.

[GROANING]

[GROANING]

I won't let you get away with...

[YELLS]

Better luck next time, kid.

And thanks for the suit.

Come on. Come on.

[GRUNTS]

[G U S]

Great.

[BELT SPARKING]

[GRUNTS]

Catch you later.

Ah, uh.

Hey. Star. Ow.

That hurts.

Then you are not a hologram?

No.

The last time we faced the Red X, he was you in disguise, and you were not really there.

Starfire, cut it out.

He is not a hologram.

He could still be a robot.

Check him for batteries.

Wait. Please.

It wasn't me. I promise.

It wasn't me.

Red X was a mistake.

A mistake I won't ever make again.

I'm supposed to be one of the good guys, to always do the right thing.

The line is supposed to be clear.

But for me, back then, it wasn't.

A madman was threatening the city, and I had to stop him.

So I became Red X, a ruthless thief who could get closer to the madman than Robin ever could.

So beca e ed , a ut less t ief o could get close to t e ad a t a obi e e could.

But I didn't tell my teammates, and my plan didn't work.

I almost lost my life... and my friends.

It was the closest I've ever come to crossing the line.

And I thought it was in the past, but now, someone else has crossed that line, and it's my job to

stop him.

But who is he?

I mean, if Robin's the ex-Red X, who's the new guy?

[GRUNTS]

Okay. If he's not Robin's evil twin, then he's obviously a bionic monkey infused with Robin's

DNA.

[YELLS]

[GRUNTS]

Face it, Red X could be anyone, anyone smart enough to find the suit and dumb enough to take

it for a joyride.

And when Robin returns, he will help us to discover who.

It doesn't matter.

I created Red X, every system, every w*apon.

Whoever's inside that suit, he's my responsibility.

If we're gonna catch him, we need to know what he's after.

I already know.

Zynothium. The fuel that powers the suit.

[GASPS] No.

Oh, man. I never understand anything.

Zynothium?

You powered that suit with zynothium?

Are you crazy, man? That stuff is dangerous.

And unstable.

Tell me you were not stupid enough to go messing with it.

Like I said, it was a mistake.

The scanner Red X stole will locate any zynothium within a 10-mile radius.

So we must locate it first.

X isn't the only one with a scanner.

I'm loading the molecular signature and transmitting to your communicators.

Thanks, but I won't need it.

How are you gonna find the zynothium without a scanner?

The same way I found it the first time.

[GRUNTS]

[LASER f*ring]

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTS]

[METAL SCRAPING]

[GRUNTS]

Professor Chang, remember me?

Ah. The good little boy who likes dangerous toys.

[LAUGHS]

How could I forget?

Zynothium. Where do you get it?

Nowhere.

Suppliers skipped town months ago.

Supp e s s pped to o t s ago.

Uh, that stuff, there's no way to get any... unless...

Talk.

There's a tech company on the south end.

Legend has it that they keep a generous supply of zynothium ore in their vault.

But it's not for sale, and it's locked up tight.

You'd have to steal it.

Not interested.

[GRUNTS]

ROBIN: But I know someone who is.

[BELL RINGING]

West side's clean.

You guys find anything yet?

Thus far, my search has been unsuccessful.

What she said.

Ditto.

Titans, I know where Red X is going to strike.

Sending coordinates.

On my way. Huh?

[YELLS]

[GRUNTING]

[SCREECHING]

So...

You're pretty much kicking yourself for not getting rid of that suit when you had the chance,

huh?

Heh. Uh, forget I said anything.

I couldn't destroy it.

The zynothium power core is too dangerous to dispose of.

It was supposed to stay locked away.

No sign of Red X.

Nor of Cyborg.

Cyborg, report.

Cyborg.

X must have att*cked him.

If Cyborg's hurt, it's my fault.

Robin.

I'm responsible, Starfire.

For everything that's happened.

No, Robin.

The error you made, it is in the past.

You are no longer the one inside that suit.

And personally, I think it looks much cooler on me.

[GRUNTS]

[YELLS]

[ S]

[GROANING]

And now I smell like rhino butt.

[GRUNTING]

[SCREAMS]

Dude. You think you gave this guy enough gadgets?

Split up.

And be careful.

I don't want anyone else getting hurt.

[BEEPING]

[GROANS]

[GROANING]

[SNIFFING]

[w*apon CLICKS]

[BARKS]

Who... are you?

[SCREAMING]

Starfire?

What's the matter, kid?

Don't you wanna play? After all, they're your toys.

[GRUNTS]

[BOTH GRUNT]

[YELLS]

[MACHINE POWERING UP]

After you.

te you.

[YELLS]

[GRUNTS]

[LASER f*ring]

Thanks for the hand, kid.

[GRUNTS]

Zynothium ore.

Enough to power the suit for a good, long time.

I love it when the good guy wins.

[LASER f*ring]

You're not going to win.

[YELLS]

Kid, you are taking life way too seriously.

[GROWLING]

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTING]

[GRUNTS]

[METAL SCRAPING]

[GRUNTING]

[METAL CLINKING]

[GRUNTING]

[GRUNTS]

Why did you steal the suit?

And what are you planning to do?

Whatever I want.

ate e a t.

[YELLS]

Not everybody likes to play the big villain, kid.

I'm a thief.

I'm not threatening your precious city.

Just looking out for number one.

So you're not psychotic. You're just selfish.

Lighten up, chuckles.

I'm not such a bad guy, once you get to know me.

[GRUNTING]

[GRUNTS]

Playtime's over, kid.

Back off, or I trip the power cord, and the cord triggers the rocks.

I don't think you want that on your conscience.

And I don't think you want to be disintegrated.

[YELLS]

[GROANS]

[GROANING]

The zynothium!

Yes, and I do so appreciate it.

Chang.

Since you two were doing the break-in, I decided to cash in.

I'm sick of selling to bad boys.

I'm ready to be one.

And now that I finally have enough zynothium to power my disintegrator cannon, I can be very,

d o t at fi ally a e e oug y ot iu to po e y disi teg ato ca o , ca be e y,

very bad.

I won't let you get away with this.

Oh, I think you will, because, my good little boy, I didn't just steal the ore.

I stole your friends.

Stay out of this, or I'll test my cannon on them.

[GROANING]

Okay. Who were the moon men?

Huh?

Criminals.

Just like you.

Come on, kid.

You don't really think this little playpen can hold me.

[MACHINE BEEPS]

[GRUNTS]

You don't even care, do you?

A lowlife maniac just got his hands on enough zynothium to disintegrate the entire city, and it's

your fault.

Don't you mean our fault?

At least I'm going to do something about it, and if you cared about anything other than yourself,

you'd be helping.

Sorry, kid.

Some guys don't like to play the hero.

I'll be back to take you to jail.

CHANG: Buildings, neighborhoods, lives.

Countless targets just waiting to be disintegrated.

[CHUCKLES]

[CHUCKLES]

Tell me, pretty girl, have you ever seen something ripped apart, molecule by molecule?

It's breathtaking.

You are a bad man.

[GRUNTING]

Oh. If you think I'm bad now, you're going to be really impressed once I finish with your city...

and move on to you.

Your plan shall fail. Robin will...

Not be joining us.

Not with your lives on the line.

Far too risky for a good boy like him.

You will be surprised at the risks Robin will take.

[CANNON POWERING UP]

Mm. Got a nice smell, doesn't it?

I've spent years hiding from this cursed city.

Now let them hide from me.

Prepare to fire.

[YELLS]

You've just made a big mistake.

att*ck!

[YELLS]

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTING]

Robin.

[GRUNTING]

[GRUNTS]

[CANNON POWERING UP]

Quickly. Quickly. Ha.

[LAUGHS]

[CANNON f*ring]

[FIRE SMOLDERING]

[GRUNTING]

Okay, good boy, who should I destroy first, you... or your pretty friend?

Starfire!

[GRUNTING]

Huh?

[GROANING]

[GASP]

[GROANING]

[SCREAMING]

[GRUNTS]

I thought you didn't like to play the hero.

Doesn't mean I don't know how.

[LASERS f*ring]

No. No. No.

[YELPS]

Look out!

[GRUNTS]

Time to get what I came for.

e to get at ca e o .

Time's up.

Thanks for the help, X, but don't think that means you can help yourself.

No problem, kid.

This should keep me going for quite a while.

That won't do you much good without this.

Better luck next time.

[GRUNTS]

Not bad, kid. Not bad.

[GRUNTS]

ROBIN [NARRATING]: There is good, and there is evil, but the line between them can be almost

impossible to find.

[SQUAWKS]

Does one good deed make him a hero?

Am I to blame for all of it because of a single mistake?

In the end, all I really know is that the answers don't come easy.

It's supposed to be simple, but it's not.
